A sample of 10 employees was chosen,and the following data were collected. Use the estimatedregression equation developed in part (c) to develop a 95%confidence interval for the expected number of days absent foremployees living 5 miles from the company (to 1 decimal). Leastsquares equation from part c:
Days Absent = 7.269 + -0.194 Distance
